raerae1980:I love this. So much. When I first heard this I just about squealed like a fan girl.

Back on Wall Street, they didn't exactly squeal, but they saw this coming a mile away. A few made a big show of huge bets on the GOP keeping the house, but back at the office they hedged those bets, I assure you.

Any impact Maxine might have on the banking sector has been priced in over 2018. She'll be an inconvenience to them at worst. Weighing more heavily on their minds will be the speed at which the Powell Fed increase interest rates.

You guys are seriously over estimating what the house alone can do. The Senate is firmly in Republicans hands and most of the never Trumpers are gone. The GOP Senate at 54-46 or 55-45 can stack all the major committees with republican majorities. The house can propose whatever they want, its dying in the Senate. The GOP Senate will be spending their time approving Trumps judges and appointees.

Stroke. Trump. Out.

Wrong maybe do the math at 51-49 they could overload only 2 committees, now they will be able to overload 8-10. That's a huge difference.

The House controls the purse strings. You can kiss that wall goodbye. And there won't be any more robbing Peter (domestic programs) to pay Paul (border enforcement) now that Dems are in charge of the dollars.
